Thrifty Finds

So it turns out lugging around a car seat while thrifting is a bit more challenging than I thought.. But I managed to get out and about this past week and I thought I would share some of my favorite finds:

I collect little vintage deer... I have similar deer to these already but they are just regular ol tan and brown.. so I was super excited when I came across these yellow and pink ones....

I love how vibrant the colors are..

and the pretty rhinestone eyes!

(vintage reindeer... 50 cents for both)

I just love vintage Christmas decorations... I especially like finding PINK ornaments so these three pink and gold lovelies had to come home with me!

(vintage pink ornaments only a nickle a piece!)

My newest vintage crush is baby/ little girl things because I never had a reason to buy them before so its a whole new section of the thrift stores to explore...

I just LOVE this vintage handmade whale dress!

(vintage whale dress... 50 cents)

I found an itty bitty shoe box at a children's clothing sale... then I saw it said Minnetonka and I got reeeaaally excited... I love moccasins and have really wanted to get Millie a tiny pair...

When I opened the box these tiny pink beaded mocs were greeting me! They are so cute!!!

(vintage Minnetonka mocs... $3.00)

Its been a great week for thrifting! Have you found anything amazing lately?

Love the mini mocs. I Saw some cool ones a few months back but I couldn't justify it cuz they were for an 8 year old girl at least. And then we found out we're having a boy anywho. I did find an awesome antique wooden file cabinet on the cheap last week. It's even stamped 'state of minn' on the inside of a drawer.
